Just like to point out 50 years ago today was Superbowl I. As a ten year old Chiefs fan then, it is not exactly a pleasant memory. But it is cool that KC was in the first one. And that ten year old kid didn't have to wait that long to see his beloved Chiefs win a Superbowl.

The story on the Queen nearly getting plugged reminded me of something I've noticed about the national media - they seemed to be fascinated by anything related to the British Royal family. The Queen gets a cold and we hear about it. Are we being conditioned to being sympathetic to monarchy? Why is it always the British Royal Family? There are after all other monarchies in the world. This Royal Family was the one we fought two wars to be rid of. I say good riddance.

I was also left underwhelmed. I expected this movie to give us a look at the Engineers home planet and the workings of their civilization. All I saw was the same old xenomorph bloodfest, oh right, this time it's different because we have a back-buster instead of a chest-buster.

Next year opioid production will be cut 25% in an attempt to reduce abuse. While I'm all for attempts to reduce abuse, I'm not sure this reduction won't hurt people who really need the drugs for pain management. In the past attempts at limiting pain medication have resulted in thousands needlessly suffering.

I'm with you on this. Deal with the abusers - but don't punish the truly ill. This one size fits all approach to problems just infuriates me.
